JSONP

JSONP can be used to sidestep the same origin rule enforced by most browsers.

If you're using jQuery, you might do something like this

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
    src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $.ajax({
            url: "http://api.dp.la/dev/item/?",
            dataType: 'jsonp',
            success: function(data){
                $.each(data.docs, function(i,item){
                    var element = item.subject;							
                    var container = '<br>' + element + '<br>';							
                    $(container).appendTo('#results');
                })
            }
        });		
    });	
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="results">results</div>

</body>
</html>
